While I agree this changes dts files (in an unexpected way?), not updating
BCM2835_CLOCK_COUNT makes it definition useless. Which teaches that
having such definitions in DT headers is not a good idea in the first place...

Hence it can better be replaced (it seems to be unused in dts files, but you
can keep the definition to be 100% sure) by an ARRAY_SIZE() in the C driver.
This requires changing the driver to e.g. initialize clks[] in
bcm2835_clk_probe() based on a table instead of explicit code.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
